Clean the River.

Citizens are kicking at the Infamous
state of the river. While 1t lie admitted
that an acqueous growth Of weeds, etc,
have the effect of clarifying rivers, pro-
lixity in that way stops Objectionable
matter instead Of allowing 1t to pass
with the current down the river. The
stagnant matter In that case becomes
prejudicial to health, and therefore the
obstruction to the river shOuld be re-
moved.

The threatened rain OF Wednesday
did not reach quite as far westward as
this city. From Seguin to Houston
there was a general rain and also to the
south and north Of US. The weather
clerk seems inclined to box the CON-
pass with his moisture measures and
leave Bexar county high and dry. 1t
will not be for long. however. The rain
will come and SO will the consummation

THE democracy are terribly afraid
that James G. Blaine will not commit
some overt blunder while I'm Great
Britain that will politically condemn
him in the eyes Of Irish Americans.
They have hoped onto his accepting q
seat in the lord mayors train as sin
which Irishmen cannot oordone. What
in the name Of Caesars ghost has the
lord mayor of London to do with the
coercion acts OF parliament, and where
has he showed himself so anti-Irish as
to cause the Irish Americans on this
side the water to condemn j. B. for
accepting travelling courtesy at his
hands. Nothing could more fittingly
illustrate the close corner into which the
democrat is driven in order to make a
case against James G. Blaine. The
nominee of the republican party, who
ever he may be, will be chosen by the
regular army Of that party and not by
democratic volunteers.

 Are there any old folks these daysg Poets may talk of age creeping on apace;" they may sing, ever 50 swoctly, oc ;hc caaviy!ali.ies of liie's winter: but in these times nothing cnecps, not even old age, and the snow wreaths do not cncircle the heated brow. Few grow old; and equally sad, few ac young. Every thought Is swallowed up in business or pleasure, the young man has an "old head" and the old man n young one, or none at all. Launched forth into the worlds strife, he must never grow old, never let tho snow . drifts settle. This is no day for old men SO 'tis said.
 And the women? There arc no old ones nowadays. Society, like business, does not tolerate the old. Art must hide the snowy hair and fl the iur- rows on the cheeks; white hairs md wrinkles may be poetical, but not at . traelive in the woman of the world
 With childhood and old age lost what is man? Jumped from baby hood to manhood oE womanhood i tb't' lN iiV iiloi bP Nh iilE piiiN the too short day and the burning midday, then, suddenly and with n crash. the blackncss of the night
 The day in drawing to an end gilds and tints tine sky with itS -iiii1ies;iits. which even after the shades of night begin to close, fade slowly and softly away, leaving a long memory of its brightness.
 To grow old gracefully! Is 1t only the day with it's twilight, or the great trees that majcstically bend under their moss fringe and lichens, that lit- tle by little show that their race is run?
 Where Is the man or the woman oi these latter days who does not battle with the falling snows or strive 10 hide their eyes from the settling twi- light? White hairs will come and human machinery will wax old, and the artilices of the pencil and the brush but make bolder the outlines of the monster, age.

 What aston!shes me is the fierce opposition which the English people show to the theory that Bacon wrote the plays.

Conceding, for the mo- ment, all that has been said against him, and Francis Bacon, inc scholar, statesman, philanthropist and founder of the school of philosophy which has done so much to produce our modern advancement and civilization, is certainly a nobler and more admir- able figure on the canvas of time than the guzziiDg, beer drinking ponchIng, lying play -act0r, of whom tradition does not record single generous cx- presslon or fl single lovablc net.

Chemists" observes a late writer upon
the correlation of physical forces-a dis
covery which has been pronounced the
most important of the present century
held that matter was indestructible; this
idea gradually extended to force, and as no
particle Of matter could be lost, no portion
Of force existing in nature can disappear.
Correlation is a word proposed by w. R.
Grove in 1912, and means mutually con-
vertible" He says: Light, heat, cleo
tricity, magnetism, motion, are all con-
vertible material affections Assuming
either as the cause, one of the others will
be the effect Let us take as an example.
motion and heat. Their relations were
first established by Mr.. Joule, in 1S49, and
after seven years patient investigation, he
found that the amount of motion in a
body weighing one pound which had
fallen 172 feet, was exactly equal to
the molecular motion which must
be added to Il pound of water in
order to heat it one degree Fahrenheit
If we call the actual energy of body
weighing one pound which has fallen one
foot, foot-pound, then we may speak of
the mechanical equivalent of heat as being
40 foot-pounds. Tyndall has made the
calculation that our earth, moving with a
velocity of 10 miles second, would strike
with force of 9S,416, 1876, 100000, 100000
000,00o, 100000 tons. Were this energy
all converted into heat, it would equal that
produced by the combustion of IA earths
of solid coal. Take note, Also that all en-
ergy, not active in motion, is potential in
attraction, from which it follows that in
the attraction we have energy stored up for
future use. The sun is thus storing up
energy. Every minute it raises 1000, 0O0,-
600 tons of water to the mean hight of the
clouds, 81 miles, and the actual energy set
free when this water falls is equal to 2,757,-

Notwithstanding the Act last aboys
quoted was approved July 10, 1886, no de-
Incnd has been made on the company by
the Secretary Of the Interior, and until such
demand is made the company cannot be
delinquent er in default with respect of the
payment OF costs of surveying selecting
and conveying. or the making of lists of
selections.
In conclusion, permit me to call your
attention 10 the structures that nave been
made upon the mortgage or trust deed, ex-
ecated by the company on the 1st day of
October, 1870, upon the lands granted in
aid Of the construction of the line. Il has
been eontended that the mortgage was
placed upon the land in evasion of a pro-
vision found in Section of the Act of
1862. That provision reads as follows:
And all such lands so granted by this
section, which shall not be sold or disposed
of by the said company within three years
after the entire road shall have been COM
pleted, shall be subject to settlement and
presumption like other lands at a price not
exceeding 81 % per acre, to be paid TO said
company"
The trust deed, however, was decided by
the Supreme Courr of the United States to
be disposition of the land within the
meaning of the grant
Blu even if the trast deed above alluded
10 hal not been executed, the proceeds of
the land grant would have passed to the
company under the operation of this clause
of ettion 3, which, in effect, would have
established in the company perpetual
right TO receive the proceeds of the sale of
the land. The lands would thus have re-
verted to the public domain, and the pro-
ceeds of their sale would have been pay
able TO the company. AS Government
land, they would necessarily have been
exempt from taxation by States, counties
and municipalities, but the proceeds of
their sale would have been the property of
the company. The execution of the trust
deed, therefore, operated to create taxable
property. Criticisms which have been
made upon the execution of the trust deed
have generally proceeded upon the theory
that if such trust deed had not been exc
cuted, the lands would have reverted to the
Government absolutely, and the rights of
the company would have ceased and deter
mined. The erroneous nature of this view
is clearly shown by the words of the grant
ing Act.
Accompanying this report will be found
tabulated statements and maps herein re-
ferred to. Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM II. MIuLs.
